26 Year Old Malasma - Greenwich, CT

After my first peel the spots have definitely became lighter. After summer is over and I have more time to hide in the house I will definitely do a full 3 peels in a row. My skin texture is the same but smoother. I don't have anything bad to say about it and will try again. I asked my dr about spray tans after I was completely done peeling and my skin was back to normal. She said absolutely that's fine. So I tried it. My Melasma is blended and your can barely see it ! Who ever thought a simple spray tan would help!!

It's day two post peel.. Skin feel pretty normal for the most part. A bit itchy at night. Starting to peel around my nose, mouth and on my forehead. I don't look as scary as I thought I would lol!! My face looks pretty tan, I'm guessing from the dead skin that hasn't peeled off yet. Can't wait to see the results day 5 and on..

So I have tried just about everything to get my malasma to go away. I finally did a ton of research and came across the vi peel. I did it today and will update later on.. The procedure itself was painless and actually enjoyable. I purchased a package of 3. I didn't know what malasma was at first and drs who knew nothing about it tried to have me do fraxel as well as countless other procedures. Thankfully I did my research. Any thing with heat can make malasma a lot worse. I finally got fed up with looking like this. So many people have been commenting asking "what happened to your skin?" "I didn't know you had so many freckles!" It became really embarrassing. It also came out of nowhere. A year and a half ago I had flawless skin. I now know it can be hereditary as well as from hormonal changes I could be going through. I live a very healthy life style, eat all organic, workout 6 days a week and just really take pride in my overall health. I pray this is the answer to my problems. It's gotten to the point I will not leave the house without a full face of makeup. So hopefully by me putting myself out there in this review I can help someone else in my position. The dr sent me home with vi brand cleanser, aftercare cream, spf and towellets. They leave the peel on for 4 hours so you leave your appointment looking a bit orange. I will keep you posted as time goes by!
